India and Pakistan share a longstanding rivalry in sports. Both countries gained independence together and share a common history and civilization. However, after the partition, they embarked on separate paths. India boasts a stronger record in the Olympics, with 35 medals, while Pakistan has secured only ten in its entire Olympic history.
In the Paris Olympics 2024, Pakistan will give their all to end their 32-year medal drought in the Olympics.
